Everyone Else is a Returnee – Chapter 48: A Partner Only for Me – 1

After the situation was over with, Kang HaJin bowed his head deeply to Yu IlHan, but Yu IlHan just waved his hands and denied it. If it wasn’t for them, Yu IlHan definitely would have died. Just like that.

“But if it didn’t die, the dungeon’s exit wouldn’t have opened, and if so, we would have died as well. So it’s us who should be thanking you.”

Yu IlHan thought that Kang HaJin had a very stiff head and didn’t understand what he was saying, but he didn’t say it out loud. Instead, he spoke while picking up the black magic stone and Reta Kar’iha’s relics.

“Then I can take this, right?”

Momentarily, Kang HaJin’s eyebrows twitched, but he couldn’t say ‘that’s a bit too……’ now, since that would be going against his words. Honestly, it wouldn’t be exaggerated to say that Yu IlHan had killed it all by himself, so Kang HaJin eventually decided to clearly give up.

“Okay, YuNa would probably not be against it either.”

Na YuNa didn’t object it either. Instead, she demanded.

“Give me your numberrrr!”
“No.”
“Wao, I got rejected again! Even though I’m so pretty! Even though I’m the prettiest in the world!”

Na YuNa was definitely beautiful. Since it was Yu IlHan, who would not eye anyone below an angel, who acknowledged that, it could be said that her appearance was exceptional.
He didn’t know the order of sequence: whether she became like that since she was blessed by the Goddess of Beauty, or whether she was blessed because she was pretty; but she was beautiful to the point that he could realize that she wasn’t blessed by the Goddess of Beauty for nothing.

He also understood why she was so proud of her appearance. Although, honestly, he felt unpleasant about it.
Yu IlHan rejected even her even more because of her confidence, and confirmed with Erta.

“Are there anything else that I need to do in here?”
[There should be, but not now. We all need rest. You worked very hard so you should rest now. The rest will be taken care of by us, as we should be responsible for this in the first place.]
“But in my opinion, I think it will become even more dangerous if your powers are restricted again doing that.”

At Yu IlHan’s sharp opinion, Erta replied while smiling helplessly.

[In fact, I’m worried about that as well. We will probably seal the dungeon itself using Heaven’s power, and will probably give out quests to humans later. To those like you, who have exceptional ability.]
“I knew that.”

Yu IlHan ended up laughing.
However, to blame her for anything, she worked very hard today, so he decided to shut his mouth. Erta also seemed to have felt his consideration as she quietly lay on his head.

He had already left the party. His passive concealment would probably activate again when they arrive in Korea, so he should be able to leave them. As such, Yu IlHan didn’t bother rejecting that.
He had already finished his business here anyway. Splitting up here was instead more annoying.

“I will drink beer with MiRae, when I go back to Korea!”
“Do whatever you want…”
“Oppa, drink with us toooo!”
“I’m busy.”
“Uuu, I keep getting rejected today.

Meanwhile, Na YuNa didn’t seem to be tired at all, as she kept chatting. If acting childish was her secret to her beauty, then he wouldn’t really want to imitate that.
However, he didn’t feel so bad about her screaming ‘kyak kyak’ from time to time, so Yu IlHan looked at that scene with a faint smile. With the thought that she might miss Yu IlHan’s figure if she kept chatting loudly.

“But what is your naaame?”
“Hmmm.”

To think that she called out to him when his concealment seemed like it would activate in just a few more moments, was that a simple coincidence? Just why does this woman show a completely different side to her at completely unexpected times…
Yu IlHan became a little nervous. Whether she knew that or not, Na YuNa continued speaking with an innocent voice.

“I asked Feyta before, but she said she’ll die if she tells me.”
[I definitely don’t want an angel cobra twist!]
“I think it’s beyond the level where you should put an ‘angel’ in front of it…”

While retorting blandly to Feyta, Yu IlHan thought for a moment. The one he thought about was Kang MiRae.

First, it was a clear fact that Kang MiRae and these two belonged to the same group. Moreover, from Na YuNa’s chatters, he could judge that they were friends. Since Kang HaJin had the same surname, it was likely that he and Kang MiRae were kins.

They will defniitely talk about Yu IlHan with her, and Kang MiRae should be able to think up of Yu IlHan the moment they mention concealment, spear, and Korean. It’s not that Yu IlHan was being arrogant. It’s just that there are no strong people with those characteristics on Earth right now, other than him.

In other words, there’s no meaning in hiding it.

“It’s Yu IlHan.”
“Waa, such a cool name!”

This person was the first to say that so nonchalantly as soon as she heard his name. The best social butterfly of social butterflies, the queen of social butterflies was here.
Honestly, he didn’t feel that bad hearing that, but his strong resolve that loners cannot associate with social butterflies made him calm.

Meanwhile, Kang HaJin was looking at him as if looking at a strange human. Even he, who grew up with Na YuNa from their toddler age, had his heart pound sometimes, when looking at her, but he could feel that Yu IlHan was rejecting Na YuNa honestly.

He really wished that that wouldn’t provoke Na YuNa’s challenging mind. She always looked clumsy, but exactly due to that, it was unknown what she would do. Fortunately, as she was more interested in making herself look pretty rather than a man, it would be alright to not assume the worst……

“You don’t have to back down so much. I won’t eat youuuu.”
“If you’re too close, it makes me unpleasant and hot so go away a little further.”
“Wao!”

Now, Na YuNa seemed like she enjoyed the conversation with Yu IlHan. Well, she might feel new about Yu IlHan’s reactions, who was different to other men, since other men either exaggeratedly close, or exaggeratedly wild.

New things bring with it, joy, but there was a limit to that. If there was no reaction, she was bound to get bored with it eventually. Just what kind of charm would she feel to someone who keeps rejecting her? Seeing Na YuNa giggling so much, Kang HaJin’s worries indeed seemed like it would end as worries.

They could escape the dungeon soon, but amazingly, in front of the dungeon, a few angels were waiting, fully armed.
Seeing those stiff expressions, they already seemed to know what happened inside the dungeon.

[Erta.]

A female angel wearing an armor of light, at their front, called Erta’s name.

[Report.](armored angel)
[I understand.](Erta)

From Erta’s polite speech, it seemed that that angel was in a higher position than Erta. Yu IlHan looked at Feyta, wondering why they didn’t call out to her even though she suffered through the same thing, and she replied in a small voice.

I think Na YuNa’s personality meshes pretty well with Yu IlHan’s, though. They’re polar opposites, so she’d help making him less of a loner. Not as in becoming one of the popular kidz or anything like that, but you know, being more sociable. He’s too edgy when it comes to social interactions.

Right. Chamber-oppa, Chamber-ajuuma and a final hit to finish you off: Chamber-chan… Forgot about the ‘don’t want people to call me that’ thing, almost. Thanks to other commenters I remembered (maybe wrong translator *cough*)
Good luck with exams. BTW, that quality without an editor is astonishing.

With the thought that she might miss Yu IlHan’s figure if she kept chatting loudly.
